The report of a soldier of the rhino unit as part of the Knar 9-12-54 unit:

Field commander Carlos Legn put me on night watch at the newly captured borders near the destroyed colony. We knew that the colony itself was likely to have vehicle fortifications, and the commander spent the day trying to get permission to assault. At the post, I heard a noise approaching from the ruins. I activated the thermal mode of the visor and saw a small object trying to steal the body of a dead soldier. According to the order about gorse, I opened fire. In agony, the thing flew a few more metres and crashed. In the morning it turned out that it was not a gorse, but some kind of metal fly...

Imagination is a wonderful thing, love your stuff.

Most of those who do manage to get out simply go crazy and spend the rest of their lives in a psychiatric hospital. However, there was one notable case of a man who got out on his own, crawled to the PIF positions under fire from both sides and was rescued. Thanks to him, PIF managed to get the information - how the machines communicate.

The longer a person is trapped, the less chance they have to rehabilitate. After all, in a state of semi-consciousness, a lot of information passes through them. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. Despite the disregard for the intellectual abilities of machines by the PIF, their way of communicating is much more complex than ours. The phrase "the enemy is here" is accompanied by absolutely full information: weather, colour of armour, number of clouds in the sky at the moment, etc. Machines cannot speak simply, they transmit all the information and highlight only certain parts of it in the message. That's why they use the human brain, which in such conditions will last longer than the smartest member of the machine kind.

I like the idea that the human brain, if used as processing core, is superior to any technology the hive could come up with. I also wonder, can anyone survive being used as a core? And if they could, would they retain memories of how the hive and all the information that passed through it etc?

The ordinary hive warriors treat humans (alive and dead) as a source of energy, as they are powered by organic fuels (flesh, vegetation, etc.). More intelligent ones, such as technicians, when building beacons, embed the still-living human subjects in an information core to use the complex structure of the human brain to control the beacon's manufacturing and coordinate nearby troops. For a long time, the victims' lives are sustained by the same biomass consumed by the hive warriors, while they remain semi-conscious.

I'm glad you asked...

I wonder, does the hive take corpses and cyborgify them?
